Houston, you have a problem. If you keep explaining science to us as if we were idiots, we won't believe anything you say.

In 1969, we were able to basically bring the moon landing to everyone's TVs over FaceTime, but it took us 55 years to get back there, and we should be impressed and excited about it. Is that what you want to say? Hopefully, this situation makes sense to me and the millions of others who no longer trust the veracity of science from governments and academic institutions.

In a joint effort between Intuitive Machines, NASA, and SpaceX, the Odysseus spacecraft apparently landed on the moon Thursday night, but it didn't even have astronauts on board. This raises two serious concerns for him. Both, if not properly addressed, have the potential to irrevocably undermine the trust of the global scientific community.

The first concern is, should we be excited about this moon landing just because it didn't actually go there in 1969, as most conspiracy theorists believe?

If this is not true, then the second concern is: If we were able to send a man to the moon in 1969, why haven't we used our space science acumen to do more over the past 55 years? (Related: Spacecraft maps hidden 'structures' on the far side of the moon)

Over the past 50 years, we have succeeded in putting the entire works of every musical artist, writer, and creator in known history into a device that fits in the palm of your hand. We've been exploring our ancient past more than ever before (no thanks to Big Archeology). And we have ensured that every person in the Western world has the ability to live a better life than the kings of history, just by doing the work.

So you want to tell me that in the meantime we finally managed to get back to the moon? Listen, I'm not ignorant. I think NASA and just about every other space agency or company is a little more focused on things like the James Webb Space Telescope and editing images of Mars before they're released to the public, rather than getting back to the moon. I understand.

But before we lie about Mars' habitat, we want some of the really big questions about the Moon answered. For example, how did you overcome the situation? van allen radiation belt And why NASA scientist Does the video above suggest that we have never been able to get through there, or even leave low-Earth orbit?

I feel like this is probably one of the first questions that could have been answered if we had actually landed on the moon in 1969. NASA says here's how to get through the belt:quickly”, I still don't think this is a sufficient answer. (Related: Scientists discover heat-emitting blob on the far side of the moon)

I feel like NASA officials and most other scientific/academic leaders don't respect the public enough to explain what's going on.

Aside from the fact that ordinary people pay these people's wages, the idea that scientific concepts are out of reach for most of us is fundamentally untrue. And if institutions continue to normalize this self-righteous approach to communicating scientific “progress”, soon no one will listen to them, much less trust them… And what happens when politicians start feeling the same way and their funding dries up?

NASA says it wants to send astronauts to the moon's south pole by the end of 2025, so I guess we'll just have to wait, observe, and decide if we believe what's being shown. Masu. Or if you want a scientist, academic, or qualified nerd to answer all my questions, please email me directly. wait.
